Verizon has far more high-end corporate customers buying PDA phones, but
I'm not sure how material that is, since the iPhone really isn't
designed for that market. The iPhone is more of an entertainment device,
because it lacks a lot of PDA functionality, and the corporate
applications such as _Corporate Time_ won't run on it.
